The movie just doesn't succeed in overcoming an incurable tonal rift between the serious story (in fact, the racial component was based on real events in Levittown, Pa. in 1957) and the Coens' dark farce. It's frustrating.&dash; Winnipeg Free Press - EDIT

Chan is a solid, sad centre for the film, and the casting works because, even if the joy isn't there, you love him anyway - even if you may be riding on the slipstream of his glorious cinematic past.&dash; Winnipeg Free Press - EDIT

Battle of the Sexes feels like a safe retelling of the event, no matter what its revolutionary implications. Faris and Dayton err on the side of the commercial, putting out a self-congratulatory message.&dash; Winnipeg Free Press - EDIT

Gyllenhaal does fine work in a difficult role, but he is matched note for note by Maslany, who gingerly takes on Erin's role as a lover/therapist with all the inherent conflict that entails.&dash; Winnipeg Free Press - EDIT

This is one of those movies where the late-August release proves to be a warning of mediocre material, no matter how much you may happen to dig [Ryan] Reynolds and/or [Samuel L.] Jackson.&dash; Winnipeg Free Press - EDIT

It is remarkable how seamless is the blend between de Wit's wry minimalist sensibility and Ghibli's penchant for evoking natural beauty in a style that looks like a water colour had life breathed into it.&dash; Winnipeg Free Press - EDIT

The event and its courtroom aftermath ring dismayingly familiar in the wake of more recent police shootings, but of course, that is the point of Detroit. Bigelow suggests we had our teachable moment a half-century ago.&dash; Winnipeg Free Press - EDIT

In a multiplex universe in which the fantastical is now commonplace, The Lure compels us to take a bite with a cinematic temptation that is refreshing, unpredictable and somewhat dangerous.&dash; Winnipeg Free Press - EDIT

Oyelowo is wholly credible in the role as a man obliged to balance the responsibility of his birthright and the needs of his heart. Gone Girl's Pike, often a chilly presence onscreen, generates sufficient warmth for the role of Ruth.&dash; Winnipeg Free Press - EDIT

Flin Flon-born actor Abrahamson nails it. He may not have many lines, but he also never has a false moment. He breaks your heart with a macho stoicism that ultimately cannot withstand a relentless assault of callous indifference.&dash; Winnipeg Free Press - EDIT

That speaks well of Affleck -- the screenwriter -- in demonstrating maturity by offering up more nuanced characters than we generally expect from the average gangster movie. Still, that maturity doesn't mitigate the shortcomings of the film's star.&dash; Winnipeg Free Press - EDIT

Peck's cross cutting of footage of marches in Birmingham and Selma in the 1960s, alongside footage of contemporary police brutality speaks volumes as to how little has changed.&dash; Winnipeg Free Press - EDIT

Let's face it: Reality is getting too strange for filmmakers to keep up. That said, All Governments Lie does offer an important cautionary point in the midst of Trump's increasingly authoritarian presidency.&dash; Winnipeg Free Press - EDIT

To give Stahelski due credit, he brings an undeniable artistic flair to the action movie, as co-director of the 2014 hit John Wick, and as the solo director of this stylish sequel, which picks up where the first one left off.&dash; Winnipeg Free Press - EDIT

The main characters are two good-looking Stepford millennials with no histories or discernible personalities of their own. Their sheer blankness is almost scary, which is as scary as this movie gets.&dash; Winnipeg Free Press - EDIT

Lovesick is an impressive first feature for Caron. It looks great and Caron works well with actors, with solid turns by locals Gibson, McMillan, Adam Brooks, and especially Tataryn, who transcends the rom-com tropes with an ineffable sadness.&dash; Winnipeg Free Press - EDIT

While Keaton plays the role straight, of all the characters on his resumé, his Ray Kroc most closely resembles Beetlejuice -- the demon good people allowed into their house.&dash; Winnipeg Free Press - EDIT

[McAvoy] invests each of his characters' personalities with dramatic shadings of mannerism. This might have elevated Kevin to the stature of Anthony Perkins' Norman Bates, if Shyamalan's script had been as good as McAvoy's acting. It is not.&dash; Winnipeg Free Press - EDIT

Nadine (played with a morose, take-me-as-I-am flair by Hailee Steinfeld) tends to defy the likability thing. She's the edge of The Edge of Seventeen, self-centred and stubbornly insensitive to the needs of others.&dash; Winnipeg Free Press - EDIT

We need more science fiction films like this. And given that Villeneuve is currently filming the long-awaited sequel to Blade Runner, we should now feel assured that project is in the right hands.&dash; Winnipeg Free Press - EDIT

The performances here keep the film grounded, notably Weaving, typically excellent, and Garfield especially up to the task of layering Christ-like grace notes atop a character who might have... come off as a beatific hillbilly&dash; Winnipeg Free Press - EDIT
